#If I got anything wrong

[iwannascreameurekaa]

So you're telling me that Leo returned to what was basically his home after dying, after killing and sacrificing himself t save his friends, family, and everything he loved, after literally exploding which probably wasn't very painless, he got back to camp halfblood after all of that only for his siblings and friends and those loved ones he died for to line up and punch him?

no crying? No hugs? Nothing from the hoard of people that cared about him and might've missed him and thought that he had actually died?

and it wasn't even playful punches either because it states, multiple times in the book, that Leo was hurt and that the punches were painful?

okay Rick I understand what you were trying to do but seriously?

And the only person to do the whole "crying and hugging" thing, which is probably a lot more realistic than freaking punching him, when reunited with Leo was piper and that was basically only because she was already sobbing because Jason was dead

Sometimes the canon makes me wonder if these characters really did actually care about Leo cause it's hard to tell and now I feel even worse

justice for Leo yall this is just mean

Edit: after this being up for a while and having different peoples opinions and memories throw at it, i would like to say that Percy and Will are the only ones to NOT punch Leo on his return to camp half blood and Harley did in fact end up sobbing but he also punched Leo. Twice. Really really hard. So

one commenter said how they believed that this is a common occurrence of ricks writing being unable to shown negative emotion in a correct way idk how to word this and honestly yeah I'm starting to notice that too (not hating on Rick) sometimes I love these parts of the books where it just doesn't make sense cause that means that I and many other authors have full rein to rewrite it as we please and we're gonna do that anyways even if the canon made sense in the first place

[slothspamsstuff]

I imagine what would be hanged on Jason’s (secret) wall. Rebirth outlaws has him use a hair straightener I swear hahaha. Let’s pretend n52 Starfire/Kori never existed….I love her and N52 really did her dirty, though I appreciate Roy and Jason as friends. I also want to draw Jason with bombastic side eye, so here it is 🙉

Ugh idk much about Roy cuz I didn’t know him prior to his Red Hood/Arsenal era but characterization aside, I like the friendship part, the other things that were/are being retconned seem horrible from what everyone is saying (i admit I haven’t read too deep into n52 outlaws ever since I got to the part where Kori decided to ask Roy for sex because that shit was terrible, so I also dunno much about the n52 outlaws) but eh, would be nice if Roy is kept as he is before n52 and still be friends with Jason y’know

Edit: I added a shaded version bc I wanted to 😭 and yes, such a Dick Grayson has literally been said by Jason in the comics lool

KTAW Day #1: Culture

Holi: Festival of Colors, Love and Spring

"How do we wake her up?" Kiara faintly hears Raelyn muttering.

"Just gently nudge her arm, but hurry my love, this breakfast tray is quite heavy." Hana's voice sounds somewhere in the cloud of light sleep Kiara was drifting in. Then suddenly Kiara was being wildly shaken.

"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey...well not really, but malpuas didn't rhyme so..." Raelyn-

"Gently, Rae, gently!" Hana admonishes Raelyn and then looks at Kiara who is sitting up disheveled and disoriented.

"Sorry Kiara, I think they're excited for our first color festival." Hana says apologetically.

"We brought you breakfast!" Raelyn sings as Hana sits the tray in Kiara's lap.

"Oh my...this is so sweet!" Kiara says touched by her best friends surprising her with breakfast in bed.

"Literally so sweet, I've had a stack of rainbow waffles and I'm about to bounce off the walls." Kiara laughs at Raelyn before beginning to nibble on her sweet breakfast.

"We'll let you eat in peace, Kiara, meet us downstairs when you're ready?" Hana says while swatting at Raelyn's hand who was trying to steal an idli (a savory rice cake) from Kiara's plate.

"I will." Kiara says smiling at the couple's antics and admiring the view outside of her window as they shut the door behind them.

An hour later, Kiara came down into the main living room at the small villa in Mathura, the Valtoria duchesses had rented for the weekend. The rest of the friend group had prior obligations and weren't able to attend but miraculously, Kiara was in-between social events and with a little pleading from Hana, Kiara joined the couple for their first Holi festival.

Kiara knew about Holi and what it stood for. A celebration of the end of winter and the beginning of spring, a celebration of love, and an occasion to reset and renew ruptured relationships and end conflicts. But knowing the indept cultural and historical aspects of the Hindu traditions, didn't mean Kiara had ever participated and looking at the couple in matching white and pink flower saree and kurta, Kiara felt awkward and out of place in her black dress.

Hana's saree and Raelyn's white kurta and trousers with pink rose jacket.

The couple turns at Kiara's arrival.

"I knew she'd be wearing something black!" Raelyn exclaims.

"Oh, je suis dèsolè, is this dress not appropriate?" Kiara asks looking down at her dress unsure.

"You rock black like a queen, Kiara, but you gotta wear light colors so the colors of the powders show up." Raelyn says.

"Don't worry, we got a gift for you." Hana says before opening a conveniently nearby closet and pulling out a dress in a garment bag.

Trying the beautiful silk ruffle saree on in the bathroom, she marvels at the colors before coming out to show it off.

Kiara's saree

"Whoa!" Raelyn-

"Ahh! I got the size right!" Hana claps.

"Hana...Raelyn...merci beaucoup...this is so beautiful, it's almost a shame that we're about to ruin it." Kiara says hugging Hana.

"Speaking of..." Raelyn says grinning mischievously at Kiara before gently dabbing bright green powder on her nose. The two stand staring at each other in a show down.

"Oh, this is war." Kiara says quietly, slowly smirking. The grin on Raelyn's face slips off when Hana hands Kiara a heaping bag of pink powder.

"Now, now hold on a minute!" They say backing out of the patio doors at the two grinning ladies that were both holding bags of powder, advancing on Raelyn.

"Rae darling? You really should be running." Hana says causing Raelyn to squeal and run. Hana and Kiara laugh as they chase their quarry.

You said the Netsilik have dogboys but they’re not treated like they are in England, so how are they treated? Indistinguishable from humans?

to clarify, i said there are Netsilik dogboys, not that the Netsilik have dogboys. i dont claim to be an authority on the subject but from what i know about Indigenous legal traditions on Turtle Island there is a very different conceptualization of ownership and property when compared to british legal traditions, one that leans more towards reciprocity and ppls relationships to each other and to the world. (the fact that british imperialism was justified using the rhetoric of terra nova and the Innu First Nations led the charge for granting Mutuhekau Shipu legal personhood says a lot about these different worldviews - mainly, who/what is considered worthy of respect.) granted, Indigenous nations are not like a homogenous blob and im sure there are Netsilik and Inuit legal traditions which are specific to them, but i can't imagine they wouldve "owned" dogboys in the same way that the british do in this au. at the same time, i don't think it would be "indistinguishable from humans" bc the framing of that sentence (even if you don't intend it to) assumes that being treated like humans would be the best outcome for them, as if you would naturally treat humans better than you would other animals - this in of itself is a very western and white assumption.

this is all preamble to say that outlining Netsilik interspecies dynamics and histories in this au is way way wayyyyy outside my field of expertise and knowledge and i would probably say smth incredibly offensive as a result (bc i was also raised with the legal traditions of settlers and colonizers and still have much to learn). i think Netsilik dogboys would probably be treated with respect, but i dont have the background required to outline it further than that. and also lets be real here theres no way crozier & co would care enough to ask about it or try to understand it so it doesnt come up much in the main plot of this au besides making the expedition even more wary of the Netsilik and making them less trigger happy (bc if "savage" humans seeking revenge was already scary to them then just imagine how much scarier "savage" dogboys would be).

[death2normalcy]

Since I’m officially done with the main guides to Stray Kids, I figured I’d do a couple fun guides, just for, well, fun. I wanted to start off with the dynamics between the boys. I’ve already talked about the three main rachas (3Racha, Danceracha, Vocalracha), but I thought it would be fun to talk a little about each friendship. (If you want to see even more about them, I’m going to have a playlist related to each post, and I currently have a finished dynamics series!) (There is 28 different pairings in this group, so they have to be broken up into multiple posts, lmao)

This post contains the following dynamics: Bang Chan and Felix; Lee Know and Changbin; Lee Know and Seungmin; Changbin and Hyunjin; Hyunjin and Han; Han and Felix; and Felix and I.N.

*Sort of a disclaimer: Each pairing will have a little nickname/identifier attached to them. Most of them come from stays themselves, whether directly or indirectly, but some of them I kind of had to create on my own. They may not be super creative, but it is what it is, lmao

Bang Chan and Felix - “the aussie bros”

nickname is pretty obvious, lol. they’re both from australia

another ‘soulmate’ duo.

both boys have talked about how comfortable it is between the two of them and how they don’t have to be extra to show each other how much they care, they can just be. chan even stated that he wouldn’t be surprised if they lived together later on in life.

they clearly have a very special connection, i imagine being two aussie boys in south korea, far away from home without their families, helped make that bond stronger. i think chan has even talked about how he didn’t want felix to feel as lonely and depressed as he did, being so far from home, so he was there for him.

when felix was eliminated during the survival show, chan told him to come find him, that he would never leave him behind, and honestly, it makes me emotional just thinking about it

felix has mentioned, but i can’t remember where, that chan is like a real brother to him

chan is always telling felix how great his singing is and how much he’s improved. honestly, chan is just great at hyping up the other members.

Pairing name: Chanlix

Their 2 Kids Room episode

Random video compilation on Youtube

Lee Know and Changbin - ‘the loud bunnies’

both of their skzoo characters are bunnies (even if changbin’s is mixed with a pig) and they are both loud. very loud. the loudest in the group, honestly

their love language is hand holding and food

completely unexpected. i never expected to love this duo as much as I do, but they may be my favorite friendship in the group

this is one of those duos that feels like we don’t see a lot of it. like, they’re more lowkey, a lot closer than we’d expect.

chan’s left and right hands. they help out with the other members a lot, and they also have a lot of affection and love for the other members.

there’s so much of them that’s been happening for this comeback, it’s wonderful

they both have each other as their phone backgrounds and it’s so funny and cute. that’s what clued me in that they might be closer than it seems. they have stated that they do this because it makes them laugh, and honestly, i bet they make each other laugh all the time

the romantics of the group, apparently (them and felix). the boys chose them, mainly lee know, as the most romantic, and i know they were kind of being silly and were talking about stay, but i’d like to think that lee know really is romantic, but like...lowkey romantic. and changbin just screams that he’s big on the romance, not gonna lie

they apparently fought a lot in their trainee/early debut days, but the other boys have stated that they would make up pretty easily

Pairing name: Minbin

Their 2 Kids Room episode

Random video compilation on Youtube

Lee Know and Seungmin - “the divorced couple”

we finally made it here, lmao

listen, don’t listen to these two dumbasses

they go on and on about how they ‘don’t fit’ or ‘don’t get along’, etc.

but they care about each other so much, it’s insane

seungmin literally cried an entire river when lee know was eliminated on the survival show, and although i don’t know the source, i’ve seen fans say he stated that lee know was his favorite hyung at some point

lee know has talked about how seungmin was kind to him in the beginning and how thankful he was for that, and while he teases and bugs him a lot, it’s clearly out of affection (once again, gotta mention that 9th episode again, since lee know wrote his letter to seungmin about how he was thankful to him for helping him adjust to trainee life.)

lee know also never shuts up about seungmin and finds ways to talk about him on the regular

arguably more alike than they will ever admit

despite appearances, lee know is the softie in this duo

but seungmin still cares a bunch, of course

they’re referred to as a divorced couple because of the popular sketch that the group did. there’s actually 2 videos: the original and the follow up they did for their 3rd anniversary. they’re really hilarious, and I highly recommend checking them out! It’ll also be helpful because the boys reference these two videos a lot, so watching them will let you in on some inside jokes)

Pairing name: 2min

Their 2 Kids Room episode

Random video compilation on Youtube (there’s so many videos out there for these two, i recommend all of them, lmao)

Changbin and Hyunjin - ‘cuddle buddies’

this was the first duo that hooked me, honestly

and it’s mainly because of the thousand and one clips of these two being cuddled up together during lives and interviews (reason # 495904 why no one believes hyunjin when he says he hates skinship)

changbin will never shut up about how much he loves hyunjin and how wonderful he thinks he is, and that’s valid, honestly

changbin is one of the co-presidents of the ‘everyone loves hyunjin’ club.

he’s so obvious about it that the group teases him, lmao. you can see this in their recent video celebrating Chuseok. changbin selected hyunjin’s name for an activity, and although it was supposed to be kept a secret, everyone knew who he picked immediately, because changbin is not subtle

however, hyunjin is always like ‘no’ and it’s a hilarious dynamic

but he’ll be like ‘ew, no’ while being cuddled up to changbin at the same time

it’s clear that hyunjin find comfort in changbin and, if im not mistaken, they’ve been close since trainee days, but i can’t remember where i heard that

changbin definitely makes hyunjin laugh a lot, but again, hyunjin laughs a lot in general, lol

Pairing name: Changjin or Hyunbin

Their 2 Kids Room episode

Random video compilation on Youtube

Hyunjin and Han - ‘enemies to lovers’

got into a lot of arguments as trainees, or at least, didn’t get along very well. han has been very open about being difficult and angry when he was younger and he tended to have issues with communication. they talked about their ‘feud’ in their 2 kids room episode and stated it was over hyunjin trying to help han out with something and han lashing out at him for it. they’ve talked about their fighting multiple times, even in earlier 2 kids room episodes from previous seasons. they’ve talked about how they almost physically fought once and how they were just terrible at communicating with each other.

but they’ve also both stated that all that fighting in their earlier days brought them closer together, because they have nothing to hide and can just be themselves with each other.

their fighting is where the ‘dance better, rap better’ stuff comes from that you’ll see a lot in skz content. its based off an argument the two had.

but don’t be fooled by the fighting in their earlier days. they’re very close now, and there’s clearly a great affection and love there, as well as respect

in fact, han is the other co-president of the ‘everyone loves hyunjin’ club

if it’s not changbin, it’s han all over hyunjin and these two basically just fight for his affection, but he wants none of it, lmao

just wants a kiss, lmao

also the dumb and dumber duo. i once stated that it’s wild they didn’t get along before because they share one braincell and that one brain cell is constantly thinking of ways to be funny and dramatic as hell

part of paboracha (from the korean word that means idiot or fool), which is a nickname the fans came up with to affectionately refer to the trio of hyunjin, han, and lee know after a live with these three being silly and answering riddles (i highly recommend looking it up, it’s so funny)

Pairing name: Hyunsung

Han and Felix - “the sunshine twins”

their birthdays are one day apart, hence the twins thing. some fans even speculate that, because of time zones and whatnot (considering han was born in korea, and felix was born in australia), they may have been born around the same time. although, i have no idea if that’s accurate

they honestly give me similar but different vibes. like, the same person, but not. it’s so hard to explain.

i could go on and on about how they are so similar but so different, honestly

another soulmate duo, in my opinion. there’s a lot in the group, but the whole group fits, lmao

i think they bonded pretty early on? i’m not 100% sure on that, but from the clips on the survival show, han was the first one to hug felix when he returned, and he seemed so happy. they seem pretty close, either way

they both light up a room, i think the group has even said this, but i can’t remember where, lmao

when han does his little kissing thing (you’ll know what i mean after like, 1 video compilation, i swear), felix will joke around with him and try to kiss back, lmao

little nerds. felix is really into gaming and can even put together a computer (?) and han is always into random and nerdy stuff, from what i can tell.

Felix and I.N. - “the angels”

referred to as angels during their 2 kids room episode (by changbin, i think)

get babied by the fans the most, and i bet it can get annoying for them, considering they’re in their twenties

these two seem to be into clothes and fashion the most? at least, just from what i’ve seen. i.n. is always showing us his outfits of the day, and i believe felix has talked about spending lots of money on clothes (i hope i’m not misremembering that, lol) and seems to be into trying new things with his outfits

underrated. felix brings in a lot of fans, but he tends to get overlooked for his dancing, and it’s ridiculous, since it’s a core member of danceracha. and while i.n. does get praise for his vocals, he tends to get a little more overlooked than han or seungmin. again, neither of these happen that often, more often than not, fans praise all the boys. but if we had to discuss being underrated, than yea.

they clearly adore each other very much and one of the members (lee know?) said that they are lovey-dovey with each other

but there’s not a ton about them? at least, not that i see on the daily.

i.n. once did an asmr video with felix and i have to be honest, i love it. it was so good and cute, i recommend checking it out

I think the saddest and craziest part about season 4 is how they were able to work with a boy since he was 13 YEARS OLD and give him and a love interest who is 15 YEARS OLDER THAN HIM?! When he just turned legal age, it was as if they were waiting for him to turn legal age so that they could do this weird pedophilic home-wrecking relationship, but genuinely, there’s a need to be more protection for child actors, because what is this, and I’m sincerely sorry for Aidan and other child actors who had to go through this kind of stuff.

[smollkittykat]

I kind of don't like how a lot of people forget that despite all the angst and the drama around Dean and Cas they are fundamentaly best friends.

How many times did Dean say it throught the entire show? Bobby in season 6 saying "Well, you just lost the best friend you ever had."

For Bobby to say that, knowing Dean better than even Sam in some regards, how many times had Dean been sitting with Castiel on the couch in his living room?

Cas doesn't sleep, and rarely does Dean, with the Apocalypse looming right behind him.

So all they had left, in those quiet nights were each other. And they were okay with it, because they liked each other's company.

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.

love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.

love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.

love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.

maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.

recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.

amatonormativity: a romantic partner should be the most important person in EVERYONE'S life

NOT amatonormativity: MY romantic partner is the most important person in MY life, but i understand this is not the same for other people

allosexnormativity: EVERYONE should have sex and sex is something EVERYONE needs/wants/should want

NOT allosexnormativity: I PERSONALLY enjoy sex and love having sex because it makes ME feel good, but other people dont feel the same and that's okay

NOT platonormativity: having friends is important to ME and I PERSONALLY love having friends, but there are people who dont and theres nothing wrong with that

faminormativity (is that the word?): family is important for EVERYONE and EVERYONE needs to have their family

NOT faminormativity: family is important to ME and I PERSONALLY need my family with me, but other people dont feel the same and i understand that

lovenormativity (again, not sure if this is a word): EVERYBODY feels love and there's something wrong wiith you if you dont

NOT lovenormativity: I PERSONALLY feel love and love people, but not everyone does and that's completely okay!

NOT lovenormativity: i feel love for people i care about

it's not normative to personally enjoy something, so long as you respect that other people simply arent like you and aren't going to like the same things as you. taking down normativity is a two way street, allos and aspecs need to do it. support your local aros, aces, apls, afams and other aspecs today! remember to challange all normativities, and to not enforce other normativity by saying how bullshit other normativities are!

nothing is universal. romance is not universal. sex is not universal. friendship is not universal. family is not universal. love is not universal. nothing is universal.

Anyway. Bi and Mspec Lesbians aren't a hotly "debated" topic or even new to queer culture, it's just the newest thing that bullies who REALLY want to be homophobic and even racist use to justify harassing gay people they don't like.

It's the thinnest possible veneer of progressive language wrapped around TERF and reactionary rhetoric so that they can feel righteous for forming an angry mob against vulnerable targets. If you're gullible enough to fall for the newest wave of bigotry within the queer community, and turn on your allies because they're "confusing" or "invading your spaces," the SAME way they turned on bi/pan labels, trans people, xenogenders, neopronouns, and aroace people before this, then get lost.
